The Law Of The Iterated Logarithm For Lp-Norms Of Kernel Estimators Of Cumulative Distribution Functions, Fuxia Cheng 2024 Illinois State University

The Law Of The Iterated Logarithm For Lp-Norms Of Kernel Estimators Of Cumulative Distribution Functions, Fuxia Cheng

Faculty Publications – Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the strong convergence of Lp-norms (p ≥ 1) of a kernel estimator of a cumulative distribution function (CDF). Under some mild conditions, the law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the Lp-norms of empirical processes is extended to the kernel estimator of the CDF.


Counting Conjugates Of Colored Compositions, Jesus Omar Sistos Barron 2024 Georgia Southern University

Counting Conjugates Of Colored Compositions, Jesus Omar Sistos Barron

Honors College Theses

The properties of n-color compositions have been studied parallel to those of regular compositions. The conjugate of a composition as defined by MacMahon, however, does not translate well to n-color compositions, and there is currently no established analogous concept. We propose a conjugation rule for cyclic n-color compositions. We also count the number of self-conjugates under these rules and establish a couple of connections between these and regular compositions.


Analysis Of Sir Model With Optimal Control Strategy For A Simple Traffic Congestion Process, Ratna Herdiana, Zani Anjani Rafsanjani, R. Heru Tjahjana, Yogi Ahmad Erlangga, Moch Fandi Ansori 2024 Universitas Diponegoro

Analysis Of Sir Model With Optimal Control Strategy For A Simple Traffic Congestion Process, Ratna Herdiana, Zani Anjani Rafsanjani, R. Heru Tjahjana, Yogi Ahmad Erlangga, Moch Fandi Ansori

All Works

Traffic analysis on highways at the macroscopic level is very similar to the analysis of the spread of infectious diseases, namely the susceptible-infected-recover (SIR) model. We propose the SIR model with a control variable. The dynamics with fixed control and stability of the model are analyzed. Sensitivity analysis was also carried out. Variable control is applied as an effort to regulate or change the duration of the green light at an intersection. We obtain an optimal control strategy when the control is time-dependent. Numerical results show the positive impacts of implementing the control to susceptible vehicles and treatment for congested …


Order-2 Delaunay Triangulations Optimize Angles, Herbert Edelsbrunner, Alexey Garber, Morteza Saghafian 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Order-2 Delaunay Triangulations Optimize Angles, Herbert Edelsbrunner, Alexey Garber, Morteza Saghafian

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

The local angle property of the (order-1) Delaunay triangulations of a generic set in R2 asserts that the sum of two angles opposite a common edge is less than π. This paper extends this property to higher order and uses it to generalize two classic properties from order-1 to order-2: (1) among the complete level-2 hypertriangulations of a generic point set in R2, the order-2 Delaunay triangulation lexicographically maximizes the sorted angle vector; (2) among the maximal level-2 hypertriangulations of a generic point set in R2, the order-2 Delaunay triangulation is the only one that has the local angle property. …


P-Adic Quantum Mechanics, The Dirac Equation, And The Violation Of Einstein Causality, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

P-Adic Quantum Mechanics, The Dirac Equation, And The Violation Of Einstein Causality, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

We introduce a new p-adic Dirac equation that predicts the existence of particles and antiparticles and charge conjugation like the standard one. The new equation shares many properties with the old one. However, the space's discrete (p-adic) nature imposes substantial restrictions on the solutions of the new equation. This equation admits localized solutions, which is impossible in the standard case. Finally, we show that a quantum system whose evolution is controlled by the p-adic Dirac equation does not satisfy the Einstein causality.


Modeling The Effect Of Observational Social Learning On Parental Decision-Making For Childhood Vaccination And Diseases Spread Over Household Networks, Tamer Oraby, Andras Balogh 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Modeling The Effect Of Observational Social Learning On Parental Decision-Making For Childhood Vaccination And Diseases Spread Over Household Networks, Tamer Oraby, Andras Balogh

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this paper, we introduce a novel model for parental decision-making about vaccinations against a childhood disease that spreads through a contact network. This model considers a bilayer network comprising two overlapping networks, which are either Erdős–Rényi (random) networks or Barabási–Albert networks. The model also employs a Bayesian aggregation rule for observational social learning on a social network. This new model encompasses other decision models, such as voting and DeGroot models, as special cases. Using our model, we demonstrate how certain levels of social learning about vaccination preferences can converge opinions, influencing vaccine uptake and ultimately disease spread. In addition, …


Infusing Machine Learning And Computational Linguistics Into Clinical Notes, Funke V. Alabi, Onyeka Omose, Omotomilola Jegede 2024 Sova Southeastern University

Infusing Machine Learning And Computational Linguistics Into Clinical Notes, Funke V. Alabi, Onyeka Omose, Omotomilola Jegede

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

Entering free-form text notes into Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems takes a lot of time from clinicians. A large portion of this paper work is viewed as a burden, which cuts into the amount of time doctors spend with patients and increases the risk of burnout. We will see how machine learning and computational linguistics can be infused in the processing of taking clinical notes. We are presenting a new language modeling task that predicts the content of notes conditioned on historical data from a patient's medical record, such as patient demographics, lab results, medications, and previous notes, with the …


Structure Of Fine Selmer Groups In Abelian P-Adic Lie Extensions, Debanjana Kundu, Filippo Alberto Edoardo Nuccio Mortarino Majno Di Capriglio, Sujatha Ramdorai 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Structure Of Fine Selmer Groups In Abelian P-Adic Lie Extensions, Debanjana Kundu, Filippo Alberto Edoardo Nuccio Mortarino Majno Di Capriglio, Sujatha Ramdorai

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper studies fine Selmer groups of elliptic curves in abelian p -adic Lie extensions. A class of elliptic curves are provided where both the Selmer group and the fine Selmer group are trivial in the cyclotomic Z p -extension. The fine Selmer groups of elliptic curves with complex multiplication are shown to be pseudonull over the trivializing extension in some new cases. Finally, a relationship between the structure of the fine Selmer group for some CM elliptic curves and the Generalized Greenberg's Conjecture is clarified.


Conditional Quantization For Uniform Distributions On Line Segments And Regular Polygons, Pigar Biteng, Mathieu Caguiat, Tsianna Dominguez, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Conditional Quantization For Uniform Distributions On Line Segments And Regular Polygons, Pigar Biteng, Mathieu Caguiat, Tsianna Dominguez, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Quantization for a Borel probability measure refers to the idea of estimating a given probability by a discrete probability with support containing a finite number of elements. If in the quantization some of the elements in the support are preselected, then the quantization is called a conditional quantization. In this paper, we have investigated the conditional quantization for the uniform distributions defined on the unit line segments and m-sided regular polygons, where m≥3, inscribed in a unit circle.

Multiscale Modelling Of Brain Networks And The Analysis Of Dynamic Processes In Neurodegenerative Disorders, Hina Shaheen 2024 Wilfrid Laurier University

Multiscale Modelling Of Brain Networks And The Analysis Of Dynamic Processes In Neurodegenerative Disorders, Hina Shaheen

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The complex nature of the human brain, with its intricate organic structure and multiscale spatio-temporal characteristics ranging from synapses to the entire brain, presents a major obstacle in brain modelling. Capturing this complexity poses a significant challenge for researchers. The complex interplay of coupled multiphysics and biochemical activities within this intricate system shapes the brain's capacity, functioning within a structure-function relationship that necessitates a specific mathematical framework. Advanced mathematical modelling approaches that incorporate the coupling of brain networks and the analysis of dynamic processes are essential for advancing therapeutic strategies aimed at treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which afflict millions of …

The Deep Bsde Method, Daniel Kovach 2024 Missouri University of Science and Technology

The Deep Bsde Method, Daniel Kovach

Masters Theses

"The curse of dimensionality is the non-linear growth in computing time as the dimension of a problem increases. Using the Deep Backwards Stochastic Differential Equation (Deep BSDE) method developed in [HJE18], I approximate the solution at an initial time to a one-dimensional diffusion equation. Although we only approximate a one-dimensional equation, this method extends well to higher dimensions because it overcomes the curse of dimensionality by evaluating the given partial differential equation along "random characteristics''. In addition to the implementation, I also present most of the mathematical theory needed to understand this method"-- Abstract, p. iii


Recommendations To Internal Auditors Regarding The Auditing And Attestation Of Mathematical Programming Models, Jose Rincón, Greg Akai, Daryl Ono 2024 Loyola Marymount University

Recommendations To Internal Auditors Regarding The Auditing And Attestation Of Mathematical Programming Models, Jose Rincón, Greg Akai, Daryl Ono

LMU Librarian Publications & Presentations

Mathematical programming planning models increase operational efficiency and minimize operating costs, but the underlying mathematics generally is complex. Combinatorial optimization is technically sophisticated which requires a strong quantitative background to successfully implement. Most internal auditors will not have the technical training to critically assess the underlying mathematics of mathematical programming planning models, but the internal auditor can still provide insight and attestation which can increase the efficiency of mathematical programming planning models.

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

As usual, let RL denote the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a completely regular frame L. Let βL and λL denote the Stone- Čech compactification of L and the Lindelöf coreflection of L, respectively. There is a natural way of associating with each sublocale of βL two ideals of RL, motivated by a similar situation in C(X). In [12], the authors go one step further and associate with each sublocale of λL an ideal of RL in a manner similar to one of the ways one does it for sublocales of βL. The intent in this paper …


Solutions To The Kaluza-Klein Field Equations, Abel Eshete 2024 Minnesota State University, Mankato

Solutions To The Kaluza-Klein Field Equations, Abel Eshete

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This Alternate Paper Plan explores Kaluza-Klein theory, a multidimensional framework designed to unify Einstein’s gravitational field theory and Maxwell’s electromagnetic field theory. The objectives of this research can be summarized in two key areas: The first objective is to present a comprehensive introduction to the compactified Kaluza-Klein theory. The second aim involves the application of differential geometry, specifically E ́lie Cartan’s tetrad formalism, to derive exact solutions in two distinct scenarios: a. A Levi-Civita spacetime, b. A general spherical system. Furthermore, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism are utilized to define stability conditions and describe gravitational lensing and Precession of Perihelion within …


Conditional Constrained And Unconstrained Quantization For Probability Distributions, Megha Pandey, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Conditional Constrained And Unconstrained Quantization For Probability Distributions, Megha Pandey, Mrinal Kanti Roychowdhury

School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this paper, we present the idea of conditional quantization for a Borel probability measure P on a normed space Rk. We introduce the concept of conditional quantization in both constrained and unconstrained scenarios, along with defining the conditional quantization errors, dimensions, and coefficients in each case. We then calculate these values for specific probability distributions. Additionally, we demonstrate that for a Borel probability measure, the lower and upper quantization dimensions and coefficients do not depend on the conditional set of the conditional quantization in both constrained and unconstrained quantization.
